Now-a-days when we choose a game we take a lot of things into consideration, the story, the game play, and the graphics to name a few. Here are three indie games that serve the gameplay over the graphics
Siliconera got in contact with Michael “Kayin” O’Reilly of Kayinworks, the mind behind I Wanna Be The Guy and now Brave Earth: Prologue, at BitSummit to talk about his new game’s long development time and its devotion to NES authenticity.
Every great game has incredible boss battles. These are the moments gamers live for, a true testament of one’s will and gaming skill. Only players who are willing to learn from every crushing defeat can rise victorious against these beasts listed below.
Psycho Mantis wasn't hard at all!
Shao Khan was a prat in Mk3 and somehow in MK9 they made him even more of a cheese monger!
I got MGS before it was stateside. I couldn't wait to get it so I had it imported. Of course, everything was in Japanese then so the whole game was quite difficult first run through b/c I had no idea what they were saying...especially Psycho Mantis, LOL.
I can beat these bosses. I have beat these bosses. And yet...I HATE facing Seth in SFIV.
Ninja Gaiden Black - Dark Samurai Boss
oh and the first Boss (spoilers) who is also the last Boss seriously eef that guy
viewpoint on the neo geo is a total bastard! it re-uses previous bosses until the game destroys you.
SteamFirst: Where is my Heart has been nominated seven times and won four awards in various award shows spanning the last several years, making the game critically acclaimed by the majority of critics and gamers.
What about Story? I can enjoy a game with lacking gameplay mecahnics or quality if it was a really good storyline (Game of Thrones RPG comes to mind, and the reason I can go back and play something like Shenmue or KOTOR without caring about the dated gameplay), but find I really cant enjoy a game even if it has amazing graphics and gameplay, if the story is awful or non-existant (RAGE is the perfect example).
Sometimes we get lucky though, and get a really good mix of all three.
Story is one of the most important factors for me when i'm deciding to purchase a game.
It really draws me in and makes me want to do things in it and gives me a reason. With no story it's just a guy running around killing people/completing random tasks (which can still be fun).
